wearing a watch?

smitty 901 has it right but the hard part is trying to forget the time.
daylight comes to late and night come to soon
 
I managed to become a minimalist. During my college years and a few year following, I always wore a nice watch, gold bracelet, gold necklace with eagle pendant, gold pinky ring on one hand and a buckle ring on the other and finally, a gold hoop ear ring. Why, am I even admitting to this? Yuck!!!!!

All top drawer stuff to show the world just how important I had become. Once I got married and formed a career (why anyone would give me a job or hire me is another topic), I dropped everything. Even before cell phones became the perminate fixture of everyones' lifes.

I found one of my nice watches just a few months ago. Had the battery replaced and wore it to work one day. Still sitting in the car after I took it off. Just doesn't feel right anymore.

Now I hide my Black Berry when ever I ride. Love to lose that one but, it helps pay the bills so, it's one of the necessary evils.

Same here....I have a little watch collection....nothing too extravagant but a couple really nice ones and a bunch that aren't worth a ton of money but are cool none-the-less. Maybe 3 dozen in all.

I always wear one when we go out for dinner, or a business meeting, that kind of thing, but while riding I rely on the radio clock on the scoot and my cell phone when off the scoot if we stop somewhere. I don't like the interference of the watch with the sleeves of my jacket.

3 dozen sounds like a nice collection. My collection sounds like yours I have a couple watches that are either worth or cost me a pretty penny. The others are good watches that I thought look very cool. I collect watches from the 70's or have that look, a Tag and a Oris are also in this collection. I like the bigger mechanical watches.

I just don't like how the watch gets in the way of my gloves or my jacket.

That sure brings back memories. The street light rule was in effect when I was growing up in the 50's.

As far as wearing a watch, I don't. My Goldwing and Road Glide both have clocks if I just can't resist knowing the time. When I'm off the bike, I just use my cell phone. At home, there are clocks all over the house.
 
I don't wear a watch although I own a few. When I ride I use the on board clock and use my mobile phone for time otherwise.

You better believe it. I can remember running out the door in the morning and Mom hollering behind me, "Make sure you're back by dark." Man, can you imagine letting a kid run loose like that these days?
 
And yet, are there really more child predators today (percentage wise) then back in the 50's or 60's? I don't know the answer to that.
